REDWOOD NOTES.

Quite fine weather last week. Surely
spring has come.
Speculation is quite rife as who will
buy out T. F. Solon The auction CT bis
Posey Creamery and store with his other
effects has taken this burg by storm. We
all hope Tom will benefit himself in the
change from mercantile business to rail
roading.
Henry Schneider and family has re-
moved to Hauser, Wood county.
Election day was quite lively, there be-
ing some pretty warm contestants, who
were anxious to show they were running
for Office. Philip Kiefer was reelected
chairman.
Kavel & Pickets' Colored Specially
Company entertainment on Wednesday
evening was not at all creditabe. We
could have done very well without them.
Paul Bergen returned to his school at
Menomonee Falls Saturday, having spent
his two weeks vacation here with his par
ents.
The suicide and burial of the old man
Forester of the town of Lowell seems
very strange. Why such unnatural pre-
ceedings were resorted to, no one knows.
Miss Mary Bergen left for Madison
Monday OF visit.
7. F. Scion boarded the early morning
train Monday for Milwaukee.
Henry Volkert took trip up in the
iron districts last week.

THE APP0RTI0NMENT.

By the new apportionment bill passed
by the present legislature Jefferson coun-
ty and the west half of Waukesha county
constitute senatorial district. The por-
ton of Waukesha set ON to Jefferson had
a Republican majority in 1884 of 26O.
This gives the Republicans a slight ad-
vantage over what they had with Jeffer-
son county alone the battle ground, but
after all makes the district safe for the
Democrats if they nominate good man
every time. The Assembly districts re-
main as at present constituted as follows:
Towns of Concord, Pennington, Ixonia,
Milford, Waterloo, Watertown, village of
Waterloo and the First, Second Third,
Fourth and Seventh wards of the city of
WATERFOWL, first district; towns of Alta
Ian, Cold Spring, Hebron, Jefferson,
Koshkonong, Lake Mills, Oakland, Pal
myra, Sullivan and Sumner, the second
district. The first of course is hopelessly
Democratic, but the second the Republi-
cans may expect to hold when they select
as their nominee as good representative
as the one now representing the district,
| the Hon. Geo. Grimm.
Dodge County as at present is sena-
torial district, but the county has only
three assemblymen under the new bill, a
| loss of one member

JUNEAU.

The result of Tuesdays election shows a
large number of new men elected as men,
bers of the County Board. The proposed
appropriation for Soldiers monument
was defeated by a large majority, some
parties unknown having evidently taken
the trouble to print and circulate tickets
against the appropriation. The town of
Oak Grove elected the entire Democratic
ticket.

SLAVES Versus HOME.

Tn a recent speech in Chicago, Alex
ander Sullivan paid his respects to Mr.
Georges theories. One of his paragraphs
told on the audience as follows:
went TO hear Mr.. George because il
Is inst to a man with q theory to let him
state it himself. !"Good" "Gooi." At
the close of the lecture a working man
put this question to him: "Here are two
men who have saved out Of their wages
$1,000 each One put his thousand into
a lot. The other has his in money. Why
should the lot be taken from the one and
the money left with the other? ;" Mr..
George replied promptly: "For the same
reason that it would be confiscated ii be
had put it into a slave" If | had not
heard the question and the answer [
should doubt that such an answer could
be given to such question. Consider
what it means. The man who put 81 600
into slaves bought human fl sh and blood.
The image of God was upon the living
creature In which he traffcked. In max
ing that purchase he outraged human
nature. he blasphemed against the relig-
ion he protested to hold; he undertook to
compel the man or woman to violate the
commandments which he professed to
hold God-given; he ran the risk of dis
posing off the block his own flesh and
blood, and he sometimes cared very little
for that risk. He was willing to tear
children from their parents, wives from
their husbands, to prostitute both sexes,
make sin legal, and to raise above men
and women the brutes themselves, whose
instincts led them to practices more de-
cent by comparison than the bestiality
which the slave system rendered inevita-
bic. Applause The workingman who
has invested any sum in the site of a
little home is moved to his act by the
noblest aspirations that can blossom in
the human heart. Cheers He seeks
to shelter the wife and the children tor
whose existence he is responsible. APP
plause.l He seeks to secure root for
the old age of parents. Applause. He
hopes, If sickness should come upon him
in his prime, before their helpIessness
shall have been provided for, that at least
his family shall not be turned into the
streets, his daughters tempted to ruin, his
old father and mother sent to the county
poor house, his wife to want and perhaps
to shame. The savings of this man, thus
animated by god-like sentiments, Mr..
George would con6scate precisely as If the
savings OF selt-denial had been invested
10 human flesh and blood off the auction
block Can it be possible that working
men with wives and little ones, with aged
parents or younger brothers and sisters,
with that which is the protector of all
civilization, the conservative force of So
ciety itself-a fami ly and home-can
follow the teacher Of such doctrines? A
voice: NO. and great cheering.

The Chicago Granite Quarry company
made an assignment last Monday to one
Frank Forster. The assets and liabilities
are about $4,000. The company was
organized in 1882, with a capital of $780,
900, to operate granite quarry at Port
land, about two and one-half miles north
east of this village, upon which the COM
pany had lease the product being used
for paving the streets Of Chicago. After
wards the capital stock was increased to
$1,000 of which SAG, 800 was paid in.
1t is said that the assignment has been
made for the purpose OF closing up the
quarry, terminating the lease and dis
solving the company. The lahorers here

PosTERITY VS.. ANCEs1RY-It is no
longer questioned, it is admitted, that
the blood of man is improving. The
children of to-day are better formed, have
better muscle and richer minds than our

more TO the general use of Or. Harter's
Iron Tonic than any other source.

WORTH TRYING.-One of the most
annoying things about storing winter
stoves in summer is their liability to rust.
The American Inventor says chat if a
lump of pure lime be placed in the stove
it will completely prevent rusting on the
inside, and il peck or so of Stacked lime
be Kept in the room where the stoves are
stored no outside rust will form. Lime
is powerful absorbent of water, four
quarts having the power to absorb two
